"We are because we feel, because we form invisible ties and timeless links to one another. Life is about the energy we share - a gaze, an embrace, a fleeting exchange of irreplicable moments. Life is about the connection."
"Somos porque sentimos, porque formamos lazos invisibles y vínculos atemporales entre nosotros. La vida trata de compartir energía - una mirada, un abrazo fugaz, un intercambio fluyente de momentos irreproducibles."

About the Author

Gabriela Condrea, born in Chisinau, Moldova and raised in Seattle, Washington, is an author (When 1+1=1: That "Impossible" Connection, 2011), speaker, Argentine Tango teacher, writing coach, and student of life. After taking a leave from her job as an 8th Grade Language Arts (English) teacher in 2008 and meeting tango along her route, her life changed completely. Gabriela began writing about and studying tango intensively, sacrificing the stability of a full-time job to reside in Buenos Aires for a total of 16 months in just over 2 years. In May 2010, she blended her passion for sharing with her passion for tango and began teaching classes and workshops on Argentine Tango. More recently, Gabriela has also combined her tango teaching, writing, and speaking to create interactive book presentations. She now shares her exploration of human connection through tango workshops, book presentations, and other collaborative ventures, both in Seattle and on her Book & Tango Tours - connecting people through music, dance, and the art of writing.
